Nightmare Mahito that enjoys getting on your, deity of dreams, nerves just so you will do the mercy of punishing him. It's not that he likes to be scared. Not at all. He would rather inflict the fear. See his victims, his wards, squirm beneath his gross touch. But the way you look at him when you reprimand him... not with malice but simple indifference, like he's vermin... he'll admit that he's addicted to it. Because you won't hurt him. No, he hasn't done enough to warrant violence. But you will chase him and you will berate him and the way you pinch his face when you repeat your orders for the umpteenth time... he wants more. He needs you, his creator, to loathe him in a way that makes him seem pathetic. Because he is. Because he's nothing more than a nightmare so could you really blame him for it?
Knight Sun and Moon x sickly royal Reader where you live in a castle outside of the capital for the sake of your health. Bedridden and weak for the most part, harbouring so much love for you kingdom but being forced to struggle with your health instead. You're not in line for the throne. Whether you're the youngest or not doesn't matter: your health puts you out of the way of the title of monarch.
Sun and Moon are brought in to aid you. The previous knights—guards more like—took advantage of your state and stole from the royal family. Naturally, they were punished for it and better candidates were chosen. Sun is eager to help though he is rather snarky. Mean, perhaps, to the other staff. A tense smile on his face when he addresses you. He'll play nice. He can play nice. And of course Moon is meaner. He always is. He's a powerful defender to be used and yet there he is following you around. He finds it pathetic really.
That is until both of them start to truly care. You hold no expectations for them. You even hold the same type of... well, not resentment. Not guilt either. Dissatisfaction that they are tied to you because of your weak constitution. And they see it. And they, as your knights ready to serve and defend you, want to wipe the frown from your brow.
"Vessel" doesn't seem like a word to me anymore... anyways Sukuna is very OOC me thinks, but happy comfort means everything to me ,,,
Warnings: Mentions of the general effects of depression; implied eating disorder, insomnia, self deprecating thoughts, self sabotage. (Nothing caused by Sukuna)
Sukuna x Vessel!Reader where, for one reason or another, you are forced to consume some of his fingers. Maybe it was a dare your friends threw at you or maybe it was an order from the the Jujutsu higher ups. Either way, you consume them. Of course, Sukuna thinks you're going to be an easy person to take over and control. A measly human? You're not that strong and yet your soul is just a little too hard to overpower.
Sukuna x Vessel!Reader where he tries to sabotage you. One way or another, he wishes to weaken you. He will take over your body... or so he thinks. He tries to mess with your sleep but you already had it pretty bad. He tries to mess with your eating but you already weren't doing too great. Nothing works because you were already sabotaging yourself before Sukuna came into the picture.
Sukuna x Vessel!Reader where your soul still isn't giving in and he cannot afford to switch vessels. No one had caught his eye as worthy enough and with the fact that he can't even force control onto you, he has no way of switching anyway. So now he has to desperately try and keep you functioning. At least long enough for a solid plan to form.
Sukuna x Vessel!Reader where he forces you to eat and drink and sleep because he'd be damned if your body gives out on him. He'll try and tease you into it, but when he notices that doesn't work he'd come up with some sort of excuse. He's not a liar, he's never been a liar, and yet he's barking out a "I need to eat too" like he's a desperately starved dog. "Let me have a taste," "cook me something," "there's two of us so eat it." It's so demeaning for him to have to say that, but you will live for his sake.
Sukuna x Vessel!Reader where he originally made your dreams a living hell, suffering is his forte after all, but now he feels your body weaken. He can feel your hazy mind, your sluggish movement, your tired eyes. He doesn't like it. He'll stop the nightmares if it means you won't break.
"Oi, wretch, sleep if you're so tired. I ain't dragging this body to bed for you." // "You'll just torment me so what's the point?" // "Would you rather I tuck you in? Sleep."
Sukuna x Vessel!Reader where he's been watching you long enough he ends up picking up when your thoughts end up bothering you. He hates it. The way you just stop and freeze? He finds it such a troublesome 'weakness' and so incredibly dull. Your misery isn't caused by him and he has to watch it regardless? He nags you so much that you have no time to think of anything negative.
Sukuna x Vessel!Reader where he keeps on using the excuse of needing an adequate host. "I have no use for someone so weak, so eat/drink/breathe to not disappoint me". In reality, he has started to fret over you. He's worried, especially as the only place he can truly look you eye to eyes is when he personally drags you into his soul. Where you see him through a reflection of yourself.
Sukuna x Vessel!Reader where he finally finds a different body. Someone far more befitting his needs. Someone far more adequate to house his soul. Not you. It happens right at the moment that you let him in too. Where the eventual banter you two share is far better than the memory of his terror. You know you shouldn't, but have grown to like his company. Which is what allows him to finally take over your body and switch.
Sukuna x Vessel!Reader where your head feels suddenly so... empty. He's gone and you know it and everything is just so quiet. Unbearably so. You probably would have gone back on your bad habits too if it weren't for him. Your soul was alone, yes, but he didn't leave. He came back, like a dog to its owner.
Sukuna x Vessel!Reader where he's so much firmer now. It was one thing having his voice in your head but now you see him in front of you, a body other than yours. His gaze is firm and intense as if even beyond your mind he can still hear your thoughts. Bringing you food, tossing you things. Indifferent in everything but his actions.
Sukuna x Vessel!Reader where the King of Curses has taken a liking to you and comes back to stay, at least for a little while.
